Crucifixion death was suicide

the original article :

Police Say Man Crucified Himself

Authorities have concluded that a man found crucified in a manner similar to that of Jesus committed suicide.

The body of the 58-year-old man, identified only as Kim, was found earlier this month in an abandoned rock quarry in the central city of Mungyeong. He was dressed in a pair of undershorts and wearing a crown of thorns on his head. He had a stab wound in his side, and nails hammered through his hands and feet.

Local police say Kim carried out the crucifixion alone, based on evidence found at the scene, including notes on how a person can actually hang himself on a cross. Investigators came to the conclusion after staging at least one reenactment based on the instructions.

Police initially said they discovered nails, a hammer and an electric drill near the scene. Kim's hands had holes in them caused by a drill.

The man was reported to have held extreme views on religion.

For those who didn't knew ( because the body was discovered at the beginning of may before the blog started) :
